The second of the Baptist anniver-
saries was held yeSterday-the sixty
third annual meeting of the American
Baptist Publication society, and the
auditorium of the First Baptist church
was crowded to repletion all day long.
The event of the morning session was
the dOctrinal sermon by DIR. John A.
BroaduS, of the Baptist theological
seminary at Louisville. He urged
honest and loyal support of the Bible as
the Word of God, and ridiculed modern
science which would make light
of it. DR.. Edward Goodman, of
Chicago, presided over the deliberations
of the society and presented the report
of the board of managers. 1t was de-
voted entirely to finances and figures of
publication, and among other things an
nounced the defalcatiOn of two book
keepers and the loss of $50, 452. Part of
this was subsequently recovered and the
shortage reduced to $4,000. After

noon session was devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the committee on missionary
work i'll Turkey. The committee, through
its chairman, DR.. Hanson, of Chicago.
reported in favor of prosecuting the
mended that the Woman'S Foreign
Missionary society take charge of the
Turkey mission. DR.. Hanson supported
the report i'll an eloquent speech. He
was followed by DR.. Wayland Hoyt, of
Philadelphia, and others, no word being
spoken i'll opposition of the report,
which was adopted. An adjournment
was taken shortly after 4 o'clock, to
allow the visitors to join in an excursion

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
The evening session of the society
was Sunday school institute. The
exercises opened with prayer by Rev.
DIR. Colby of Dayton. He was fol-
lowed by Rev. w. p. Hellings. of Mil
Waukee, who spoke at some length
upon Systematic Beneicence in the
Sunday School" He stated that there
were l,011,0 Sunday school pupils in
the United States. The churces and
Sunday schools had contributed during
lamented the fact that more
had not been contributed, as
this was a very poor showing.
The speaker thought there were too
many special collections taken up and
was in favor of having a more uniform
method in regard to collections. The
real way to do, said the speaker, is to
pay more attention to the little amounts
and not go at it in such Il haphazard
manner. In closing, the reverend gen.
tlemen suggested that some system be
put into operation in regard to the Offer
ingS of the Sunday schools. Rev. Mr..
Lamb followed with the song, Cast
Thy Bread on the Waters.'
Rev. Dr.. a. j. Rowland, of Baltimore,
then presented an interesting address
on Especial Doctrinal Teaching in the
Sunday School," He said too many
people nowadays were breaking loose
from dOctrinal teaching people. What
they wanted was something amusing,
or at least interesting, in the same man
ner that good book is interesting. We
must have an articulated basis of doc
trine if we want to have any soundness
of character, said he. > All the great
men have been those who have believed
something. AT the conclusion. of this
address there were number Of five 4
minute discussions of both addresses.
